Biography
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was born in 1990 in Idaho Falls, Idaho to a family of Mexican descent. He had a short-lived relationship with a fiancee that produced a son in 2009, but the two of them separated; his fiancee's mother noticed that he had begun to make bizarre statements in 2011. Ortega-Hernandez claimed that President Barack Obama was planning to plant GPS devices in children, claimed that the world would end in 2012, sent a video to talk show host Oprah Winfrey claiming that he was Jesus, and spoke on the danger of secret societies on his 21st birthday. On 23 October 2011, Ortega-Hernandez left his home, telling his family that he was going on a business trip to Utah. He arrived in Washington DC on 9 November 2011, bringing with him a Romanian PSL semiautomatic rifle. On 11 November 2011, he parked his vehicle on Constitution Avenue, 750 yards from the White House. Ortega-Hernandez fired his rifle from his car's passenger seat, and seven bullets struck the antique room of the White House, causing $97,000 in property damage. It took a while for police to respond, and Ortega-Hernandez abandoned his vehicle and fled. On 16 November 2016, he was arrested at an Indiana, Pennsylvania hotel after an employee contacted police, and he was sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment on 31 March 2014.
